MPAA still trying to close the analog hole: Now with new, more inane arguments {Engadget HD}
Sep 6th 2009 3:18AM Didn't I see a converter on here a while back that will take HDMI and toss out component? If I recall correctly, the little thing even had HDCP support. There is no way to close the analog hole, and even if they did, who pirates that way anyway? That crap ended when VHS died. Everyone pirates digitally now. When will these people take their thumbs out of their brown holes and realize that things dont work the way they want them to work, no matter how much they want them to?
YouTube looking to enter rental movies on demand business, says WSJ {Engadget HD}
Sep 2nd 2009 6:41PM Someone needs to realize that these services are not going to work, and adding another is just going to complicate things. Youtube should try to steal some business from netflix and introduce "Youtube Pro" where you can pay a flat fee to be able to watch a huge library of movies, and pay a slightly higher fee for new releases. If such a service existed, I'd wager that a good deal of people would ditch their cable subscriptions in favor of just using that. I would.
Amazon & iTunes drop digital download prices. Still cost too much {Engadget HD}
Sep 1st 2009 2:05PM The collection factor is a huge deal for me, too when it comes to blu ray purchases, and I know I am not alone in this. I love having a huge shelf of movies and knowing each is perfect. Digital downloads just aren't as fun, because in order to show that shit off I have to open up a DD box, navigate to a menu, etc.
Also, why the fuck would I pay 20 bucks for a download when I can just get the same thing off bittorrent for free? Often with better quality too.
Possible Palm Pre, Eos, Storm 2, and more revealed in Verizon database {Engadget Mobile}

The next Batman flick could be all-IMAX {Engadget HD}
Aug 26th 2009 8:24PM People like you shouldn't even be allowed to HAVE opinions. Bale is better by far than any other batman to date, and ledger's portrayal of the joker will go down in history as one of the greatest performances of all time.
Onkyo's top-end TX-NRx007 receivers land stateside {Engadget HD}
Aug 24th 2009 5:09PM Onkyo pwns. I love my TX-SR606 more than life itself. Gets hot enough to fry a squirrel, but if you put it on the top of your system, you're good to go.
Media Center DISH Network tuner is on hold indefinitely {Engadget HD}
Aug 19th 2009 6:26PM Wow, big deal. Another MS only tuner gets canned. Watch as I cry. Let's talk linux tuners...
Fox and Warner want 30 day kiosk rental windows, maybe Netflix too {Engadget HD}
Aug 15th 2009 5:43PM JDS, let's not forget that blockbuster is in serious financial trouble. You might have faith in the way they do business, but few others do.
Fox and Warner want 30 day kiosk rental windows, maybe Netflix too {Engadget HD}
Aug 15th 2009 5:42PM All of those are movies that people who care enough about them to "flock to the product" are planning on buying. I don't know about you, but I have my copies of Terminator Salvation and Star Trek already reserved on Amazon. (Well, Star Trek at least, but they'll email me when TS is available for preorder). You have to remember that most of the people on netflix have become comfortable with the netflix meme and aren't going to want to change. But our arguing is academic, time will tell.
Fox and Warner want 30 day kiosk rental windows, maybe Netflix too {Engadget HD}
Aug 15th 2009 5:03PM No, they won't. People will wait for 30 days and rent then. Most movies come out months after they've been in theaters, and if people cared that much about a particular movie, they'd purchase that movie. This is effectively moving the release date back another month for most customers.
